What is a Non-Surgical Lip Lift?
A traditional lip lift is a permanent, surgical procedure to shorten the philtrum (the space between the nose and the upper lip) and give the upper lip a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Here at Haru Clinic, however, we have a non-surgical solution to the same philtrum and upper lip concerns, using fillers to give the impression of a shorter philtrum. The procedure is minimally invasive, achieving the desired results without scarring or downtime, unlike surgical methods used by many clinics that often leave visible scars.
Additionally, we can perform a lip correction using thread lifting and fillers to address concerns around asymmetry and fullness, and to enhance the results of a philtrum shortening filler procedure.

Our non-surgical lip lift is a minimally-invasive solution to the classic lip lift.

How Is the Non-Surgical Lip Lift Done?
Our non-surgical philtrum shortening involves simple techniques such as fillers, and occasionally thread lifting, to visually shorten an elongated or flat philtrum, enhancing your overall appearance. Our method goes beyond just addressing the philtrum’s length; we also consider its alignment with the septum and the shape of the upper lips. This ensures a balanced and harmonious result for the entire area.
Additionally, we use these same techniques to perform our more general lip correction. Considering the nasolabial angle, philtrum, lips, mouth corners, tooth and gums exposure while smiling, and general muscles around the mouth, we create a completely customized plan to address your concerns, and enhance the overall harmony of your face.
How We Treat Different Lip Shapes
Ideal Lip Profile
Through lip correction, unnatural or harsh-looking lips can be refined to look smooth and natural. This creates a bright appearance, giving you a younger impression and allowing you to smile confidently and engage in conversations with others.
Protruding Mouth
Those awaiting orthodontic correction, have a protruding mouth, and sunken surrounding areas (philtrum, cheeks, chin, or nasolabial folds):
When the surrounding areas are sunken, the lips appear more protruded. By adding volume to these areas and relaxing the overactive muscles around the mouth (using botox for the strong jawline muscles), deep wrinkles can be softened. This connects the overall mouth area into a natural line, creating a softer appearance and a beautiful smile.
Sunken Mouth
Those whose chin and upper lip are sunken, or whose mouth appears sunken after orthodontic treatment, or due to gum or bone loss from aging:
After orthodontic treatment, dental implants, or with aging, gum and bone loss can lead to reduced skin elasticity and fat loss around the mouth, resulting in a sunken mouth appearance. We use fillers and Botox to add natural volume where needed, restore smooth contours to the recessed mouth area, and correct fine wrinkles in the skin.
Drooping Mouth Corners
For those with thin lower lips and a downturned mouth:
When the corners of the mouth droop, it can give a gloomy impression and make your smile less bright. Simply lifting the drooping corners can create a much brighter and softer appearance. At Haru Clinic, simple procedures such as Botox, fillers, and thread lifting are customized to the individual’s mouth shape to gently lift the mouth corners, creating a brighter look and a friendlier smile.
Long and Flat Philtrum
For those whose upper lip curves inward or with a wide gap between the nose and upper lip
When the philtrum is long and flat, the face looks longer, the lips appear recessed, and can give an older impression. At Haru Clinic, simple procedures such as thread lifting and fillers, which require no recovery time, help shorten the philtrum length, define the lip and philtrum lines, and create a brighter and more youthful appearance.
How Are Threads Used in a Non-Surgical Lip Lift?
Each lip correction and philtrum shortening case is unique, and thus requires a unique approach. After a thorough facial analysis with Dr. Jeong, your personal non-surgical lip lift treatment plan will be crafted. Thanks to the nature of our customized procedures, thread lifting can be applied in a variety of ways to target varying concerns and treatment areas, but below are some examples of the different ways in which threads can be applied to achieve different goals.
🔴 – insertion point 🔵 – exit point
*Please note that we do not always apply threads for our philtrum shortening procedure, and often opt to create the effect of a shorter philtrum with filler and botox before threads. Every patient’s case is analyzed individually and a personalized plan is created to effectively treat your concerns.
Personalized, Optimized Procedures at Haru Clinic
Here at Haru Clinic, we do not offer factory-style, one-size-fits-all procedures. We recognize that everybody, and every body, is different and requires a tailored approach.
